If you mean 80 Mbps. that's not slow for some wifi clients.
It might be worth a bit of background reading.
Understand Wi-Fi 4/5/6 (802.11 n/ac/ad/ax)
@duckware knows their stuff and can bust a few myths and cut through marketing hype.
The R6080 is a bit crippled by the fact that, according to the documentation, not always a reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN ports are limited to 100 Mbps. So your Internet is faster than your hardware.
